On the recordJune 3, 1997
Sunday, residents of this area, the Washington, D.C. area, found a front page Washington Post article dealing with potential pollution problems coming down the Potomac from West Virginia. This followed a report a couple of weeks ago by a group called the American Rivers group. Since most of the Members in this Chamber at some time or another are going to be drinking water generated at the headwaters of the Potomac, namely, West Virginia, I thought we ought to talk about it and talk about what is being done to deal with this concern. I think that people ought to know that there is a commonsense solution to these problems and, indeed, a number of measures are being untaken, and that no one is trying to close their eyes to the situation, but at the same time we also have to appreciate what is being done and that, indeed, a number of steps are already underway to deal with this.
